Upon further reflection and after reading several hundred posts in the interval, I have to say that most people haven't figured out how to spell. I read one post where the person insisted upon using " 's " to indicate a plural, used the wrong word, using "waist" when they meant "waste". A spell checker just doesn't work for those types of mistakes. I guess it's due to my non-liberal private school upbringing that we were taught spelling for 8 whole years! I had a professor of history in college who told us at the beginning of the semester that he would take off points for misspellings, bad grammar, and especially for the incorrect use of the apostrophe. I don't understand why people still believe that the correct way to indicate plural is to add an apostrophe between the last letter of the word and the "s", or use it for words ending in "y", where the plural is usually "ies", not "y's"......ARRRGGHHHH!!!! I'm all for people expressing themselves, but at least, express yourself intelligently. I'm reminded of a statement someone made to us about presenting our case before a city government. If we went in there looking like a bunch of hicks, they wouldn't listen to us. So, appearance, not only in dress, but also in presentation of the written word, is desirable. As Bartles and Jaymes said, "Thank you for your support."
